Intel AMT versions
Intel Active Management Technology is hardware-based technology built into PCs with Intel vPro technology. AMT is designed to help sys-admins remotely manage PCs out-of-band when PC power is off, the operating system is unavailable, software management agents are missing, or hardware has failed.
Versions
Intel AMT is built into a small secondary processor located on the motherboard. This OOB controller has embedded firmware that runs on the Manageability Engine (ME), a separate small processor built into the northbridge of the motherboard. The AMT firmware is stored in the same SPI flash memory component used to store the BIOS and is generally updated along with the BIOS. FWH or LPC firmware storage is not supported for AMT.In general, an AMT version can be updated in software to the next minor version. New major releases of Intel AMT are built into a new chipset, and are updated through new hardware.
